The hour-long special Superstorm USA: Caught on Camera is being made by Mentorn Media, and will air November 15 at 10 p.m. GMT. It was commissioned by Fiona Campbell, commissioning editor for independents at BBC News and Current Affairs.

Steve Anderson, the doc’s exec producer, said: “From the moment that weather forecasters made their predictions, people in New York and New Jersey documented the preparations, and then the frightening reality.

“Trees uprooting, power stations exploding and people being evacuated from homes while waist-deep in water; everything has been caught on personal phones and cameras by a generation that understands the power of instant video messaging.”

Mentorn International will be distributing the doc and Alex Pickering is the line producer for Mentorn Media.
